No seriously Paul Ryan doesn't meet the incredibly high standards for what passes as economic thought at the Ayn Rand Institute. To which one wonders if institutionalizing Ayn Rand and her follower might not have been a bad idea... Isn't the big difference between Ryan and Rand the fact Rand wrote about million pages and Ryan's central blue print is as detailed as Nigel Tuffnel's stonehenge napkin.

"I don't think Ryan even in his political philosophy is as radical as I am or as radical as Ayn Rand would be," says Brook in an interview with The Daily Ticker. "Maybe he is in terms of his long-term vision and is just a practical politician."

My mistake- perhaps Ryan is insane too, so rest assured people of America his long term plan is death to teachers, professors, lawyers, anti-monopolists, humanitarians, family members of government officials, journalists, government loan recipients and other people- just not right away because our political system is slow moving and Ryan is very practical.

Thanks for clearing that up Yaron Brook, genius

1. Ayn Rand was a phony intellectual and a sociopath.

2. No wonder Ryan identifies so closely with her. n/t

[Ikonoklast]

10. Also, a horrible writer, addicted to amphetimines, and stole other women's husbands.

She was as vile a human being as one can get.


She fooled millions with her religion of greed and selfishness, and people that follow her are to be shunned from society as they, too, are sociopaths in training.

3. Do they have a Rand-o-Meter?

Or perhaps a ranking system with little icons of Ayn's face, where the more Randy you are the more you get?'

'Paul Ryan has only four Rands. Five is required to be considered sufficiently Randy.'

4. That's a surprise...I always assumed Ryan was crazy enough for them.

[Downwinder]

5. According to Rand's philosophy.

Ryan does not produce anything. Just another political leach.

6. "as detailed as Nigel Tufnel's stonehenge napkin.;"

for truthiness.

[reformist2]

7. It's a cult - inner-circle Randians are always pointing out heretics.

[OilemFirchen]

8. There's an Ayn Rand Institute?

Why the hell wasn't she committed when she was alive?

[SoCalDem]

9. Elisa Rosenbaum was her name

and she was on Medicare in her old age...and SS as well.

She was a hack writer who got lucky..and who found an audience of angry people who embraced her cockamamie "philosophy".
